Default Wheel bearing ?

Have a question. Found out I need a driver side wheel bearing for my 98 GSR. Can I get away with a aftermarket or go oem ?

Thanks..

You can, as long as it's a good quality. Local auto parts stores have what you need, just don't get "their brand"

OEM as said above... if you find a Koyo bearing in auto part stores, get it, they're the same ones as OEM but cost less since it doesn't have that dealer markup.

All vehicles have wheel bearings. And sooner or later, those bearings will have to be replaced. We provide premium Hub bearing units that are manufactured in the USA from only the highest quality products. All of our wheel bearings and hub assemblies are tested before they are shipped to you so we can ensure the highest quality possible.

Wheel bearings hold your wheels on and allow them to spin properly. They are an essential automotive component that must be kept in working order. Most wheel bearings are sealed at the factory (commonly referred to as hub bearings or hub assemblies) and don’t require replacement until, perhaps, 150,000 miles. However, there are many cars on the road whose wheel bearings do require regular service and replacement.

The wheel bearing is pressed into the spindle on all front wheel drive cars and secured by three hardened bolts by the ears on the bearing. Unless the spindle is damaged all you need is a new complete bolt in wheel bearing. Napa has them for $85.00. It's best to remove the spindle from the lower ball joint remove the strut unbolt the old wheel bearing and press it out. The new wheel bearing assembly is pulled back in by the three hardened bolts.
